晶胞粘连苏云金芽胞杆菌C15杀线虫毒力因子发掘与功能鉴定

苏云金芽胞杆菌（Bacillus thuringiensis,Bt）制剂作为一种高效的微生物杀虫剂,在植物病虫害防控领域有着广泛的应用。Bt制剂的主效成分为杀虫晶体和芽胞,其中,杀虫晶体的环境低持久性是Bt农药应用的重要限制因素之一。自然界中存在着一些Bt菌株,其产生的杀虫晶体位于芽胞外壁和芽胞衣之间,这种特殊的表型被称为晶胞粘连（spore-crystal association, SCA）表型。由于芽胞外壁对晶体的保护作用,SCA表型可以提升晶体抵抗不良环境因素的能力,是开发新型Bt生物囊杀虫剂的有效育种策略。本文选取对线虫具有强毒杀能力的 SCA菌株C15作为研究对象。获得了C15菌株的完整基因组序列,包括一个5 637 049 bp的环状染色体和8个不同大小的环形质粒（240 314 bp到3 188 bp）。C15基因编码了5个杀虫蛋白（Cry蛋白）基因：cry21-99、cry21-67、cry21-66、cry21-46和cry-N。在Bt无晶体突变株BMB171中异源表达cry21-99基因,发现其表达产物形成菱形晶体,且对秀丽隐杆线虫（Caenorhabditis elegans）和南方根结线虫（Meloidogyne incognita）均有毒杀活性。同时,还在全基因组范围内预测了Cry毒素以外的杀线虫毒力因子和次生代谢产物。此外,在C15基因组中预测了本团队已报道的苏云金芽胞杆菌幕虫亚种（B. thuringiensis serovar finitimus）菌株YBT-020 SCA表型决定因子的同源基因,缺失后突变体仍然保留稳定的SCA表型,说明C15菌株的SCA表型形成机制与YBT-020不同,该菌株代表了一种新的SCA表型形成机制。本研究为转基因作物防控线虫提供了新的遗传资源,也为研究SCA表型形成机制,开发新型高效Bt制剂提供了新线索。

低毒化学杀虫剂氯氟氰菊酯与生物源农药阿维菌素混配,通过其对美洲斑潜蝇室内毒力实验,测定共毒系数CTC为161～232,处于明显增效范围内。据此确定最佳配比,配制此增效混剂2%渗透型可湿性粉剂。在北京、山东两地防治美洲斑潜蝇幼虫的田间试验表明药效优良,制剂用量50 g/667m²药后3、7、11天两地区校正防效分别为85.26%～90.76%和86.74%～94.02%,制剂用量25g/667m2两地区相应防效分别为75.28%～85.17%、79.96%～88.68%。该增效混剂防治斑潜蝇速效性和持效性皆佳,成本有所下降,使用可湿粉与乳油相比较,可减少投放入环境的化学品数量,以减少环境污染。     

杆状病毒增效因子及其增效机理

杆状病毒是一类双链环状DNA病毒,具有宿主特异性强和环境兼容性好等特点。作为微生物杀虫剂,杆状病毒在农业可持续发展中应将发挥更加重要的作用。但是,杆状病毒杀虫剂自身的不足,如杀虫活性低和杀虫速度慢等,严重制约了其推广应用。一些增效因子能够改善杆状病毒的杀虫活性或杀虫速度。本文综述了杆状病毒增效蛋白、昆虫痘病毒纺锤体蛋白和荧光增白剂等7种对杆状病毒具有增效活性的增效因子的特性,并对其增效机理进行了逐个分析,旨在为高效病毒杀虫剂的研发以及病毒杀虫剂的推广应用提供借鉴和帮助。     

国外科技简讯

第三代Bt杀虫剂问世 据ANI 1995年3月报道:美国宾夕法尼亚州Ecogen公司已获得美国环境保护局的准许,将重组苏云金芽孢杆菌(Bt)生物杀虫剂“Raven”投入市场。Raven是在美国环境保护局注册的第一种重组Bt,也是第三代Bt生物杀虫剂。该杀虫剂包含了来自不同的Bt株系的复合蛋白,其有效成分为8％马铃薯甲虫活性毒素和2％蠋毒素。由于马铃薯甲虫已对化学杀虫剂产生了抗性,因此化学防治日渐失效。1994年Raven田间防治试验表明效果良好,为此科学家建议将其与化学杀虫剂结合施用。据统计,目前Raven在世界市场上的销售金额已高达5—10百万美元。     

生物工程增效蛋白复合生物杀虫剂

武汉大学生命科学学院病毒研究所科研工作者,近年研究出了一种新的生物杀虫剂,即生物工程增效蛋白复合生物杀虫剂,也即是高效广谱病毒(CPV)。 这种病毒杀虫剂是从国内首次筛选出的败血型病毒与我国首次研制的增效工程蛋白,按一定比例组配研制而成。这种病毒性生物杀虫剂是将颗粒体病毒的增效蛋白基因克隆于表达载体,并进一步在大肠杆菌内再表达增效而制成的工程蛋白,有较强的杀虫能力,能显著提高病毒在虫体的感染力和协同杀虫效果好的苏云金杆菌的毒力。与此同时,它还是微生物杀虫剂的中间体,可广泛用于病毒杀虫剂、Bt杀虫剂和转Bt基因棉的杀虫剂。其应用范围很广,可对农、林、牧等鳞翅目的主要害虫,尤其对夜蛾科害虫有特效。例如斜纹夜蛾、银纹夜蛾、粉纹夜蛾、甜菜夜蛾以及菜青虫、棉铃虫、松毛虫等。这说明它杀虫谱广。同时,杀虫速度快,可造成“靶”昆虫幼虫瘫痪死亡。因其毒力破坏了靶昆虫幼虫肠道的微食膜,所以造成害虫停食、停止运动并最后死亡。 据统计,我国棉田(地)约5000万亩,森林9亿亩,蔬菜400万亩。危害棉花、蔬菜和森林的棉铃虫、松毛虫和夜蛾科的害虫繁殖快,危害严重和抗药性强,若用传统农药,效果不十分显著,现采用生物工程增效蛋白复合生物杀虫剂,可确保农林牧增产和丰收。秦春圃

Molecular approaches towards development of novel Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticides

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been used for control of lepidopteran, dipteran and coleopteran insects for over three decades. Novel Bt strains harbouring new types of insecticidal genes are being discovered worldwide. Recombinant strains with enhanced toxicity and broadened insecticidal spectrum have been constructed. To increase the field persistence of insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs), alternative modes of their delivery in Pseudomonas sp. and endophytes have been developed. ICPs have been modified by site-directed mutagenesis to improve their insecticidal efficacy. Higher yields of ICPs have been achieved by use of strong expression promoters and other regulatory elements. Gene-disabling of the sporulation-specific protease has led to yield enhancement of ICPs. Interestingly, Bt toxins have been found to act synergistically with some other pesticidal agents. Optimization of fermentation conditions is an essential requirement for cost-effective commercial production of Bt biopesticides. The environmental impact of deployment of genetically engineered biopesticides has been assessed. Recombinant Bt strains that do not carry any non-Bt DNA, endophytes, encapsulation in killed bacteria (such as Pseudomonas) and asporogenous Bt strains are ecologically safe approaches. Efficient resistance management strategies require judicious use of Bt transgenic plants in conjunction with refugia and Bt biopesticides in an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

Bt Cry毒素抗虫模拟物靶向创新设计

Bt Cry毒素是当前研究最深入、应用最广的生物抗虫蛋白，对农业害虫的绿色防治发挥了重大作用。然而，随着其制剂和转基因抗虫作物的广泛应用，由此驱动诱发的靶标害虫抗药性及潜在生态安全风险等问题日益凸显。探寻具备模拟Bt Cry毒素杀虫功能的新型抗虫蛋白材料，不仅可为农作物持续健康生产保驾护航，也能在一定程度上缓解靶标害虫对Bt Cry毒素的抗药性压力。近年来，笔者团队以抗体“免疫网络学说(immune network theory)”中Ab2β类型抗独特型抗体(anti-idiotype antibody, Anti-Id)具备模拟抗原结构和功能的特性为理论依据，借助噬菌体展示抗体库及特异性抗体高通量筛选与鉴定技术，设计Bt Cry毒素抗体为包被靶点抗原，从噬菌体抗体库中靶向筛选到了一系列具备模拟Bt Cry毒素抗虫功能的Ab2β类型抗独特型抗体(即Bt Cry毒素抗虫模拟物)，其中活性最强的Bt Cry毒素抗虫模拟物对靶标害虫的致死率接近相应原Bt Cry毒素的80%，初步实现了Bt Cry毒素抗虫模拟物的靶向设计。本文从理论依据、技术条件、研究现状等方面进行系统概述，并就相关技术发展...     

鳞翅目昆虫中肠Bt杀虫蛋白受体研究进展

杀虫晶体蛋白(insecticidal crystal proteins,ICPs;含有Cry和Cyt 2大家族)和营养期杀虫蛋白(vegetative insecticidal proteins,Vips)等Bt杀虫蛋白可有效防治鳞翅目害虫,其中Cry应用最广泛。然而,一些地区的鳞翅目害虫已对Bt杀虫蛋白产生了抗性。目前,普遍认为鳞翅目昆虫中肠受体与Bt杀虫蛋白结合能力的改变是导致其对Bt杀虫蛋白产生抗性的最主要因素。在鳞翅目昆虫中,Cry受体是研究得最为透彻的Bt受体,已经被证实的有氨肽酶N、钙黏蛋白、碱性磷酸酶和ABC转运蛋白等。Vips杀虫蛋白类与鳞翅目昆虫中肠受体的结合方式与Cry杀虫蛋白相似,但结合位点与Cry杀虫蛋白不同。本文从结构特点、作用机制及不同鳞翅目昆虫间的表达差异等角度对以上4种鳞翅目昆虫中肠Bt受体进行了综述,并提出如下展望:(1)以棉铃虫或小菜蛾等鳞翅目昆虫为农业害虫模式生物进行深入研究,阐明其对Bt杀虫蛋白产生抗性的机制,为研究其他鳞翅目农业害虫对Bt杀虫蛋白产生抗性的机制提供理论借鉴;(2)鉴于在不同鳞翅目昆虫间,中肠Bt受体与Bt杀虫蛋白结合存在差异,且同一Bt杀虫蛋白与鳞翅目昆虫Bt受体并不专一性结合,Bt杀虫蛋白多基因组合策略是较为有效的田间鳞翅目昆虫防治策略,是今后一段时间内Bt杀虫蛋白应用的发展方向。     

Bt: mode of action and use

The insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) represent a class of biopesticides that are attractive alternatives to broad-spectrum "hard" chemistries. The U.S. Food Quality Protection Act and the European Economic Council directives aimed at reducing the use of carbamate and organophosphate insecticides were expected to increase the use of narrowly targeted, "soft" compounds like Bt. Here we summarize the unique mode of action of Bt, which contributes to pest selectivity. We also review the patterns of Bt use in general agriculture and in specific niche markets. Despite continued predictions of dramatic growth for biopesticides due to US Food Quality Protection Act-induced cancellations of older insecticides, Bt use has remained relatively constant, even in niche markets where Bt has traditionally been relatively high.     

影响苏云金芽孢杆菌基因在转基因植物中表达的因素

苏云金芽孢杆菌（Bacillus thuringiensis,Bt）杀虫晶体蛋白基因是植物抗虫基因工程中应用最广泛的基因资源。影响Bt基因在转基因植物中表达的因素繁多,阐明这些因素的效应对于获得Bt基因在受体植物中的稳定高效表达具有重要意义。现对Bt基因表达的主要影响因子,如Bt基因表达单元、植物发育、外部环境条件、受体植物遗传背景、整合位点及Bt基因沉默现象等进行了综述。     

Bacillus thuringiensis: a biotechnology model

This paper is on the different biotechnological approaches that have been used to improve Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) for the control of agricultural insect pests and have contributed to the successful use of this biological control agent; it describes how a better knowledge of the high diversity of Bt strains and toxins genes together with the development of efficient host-vector systems has made it possible to overcome a number of the problems associated with Bt based insect control measures. First we present an overview of the biology of Bt and of the mode of action of its insecticidal toxins. We then describe some of the progress that has been made in furthering our knowledge of the genetics of Bt and of its insecticidal toxin genes and in the understanding of their regulation. The paper then deals with the use of recombinant DNA technology to develop new Bt strains for more effective pest control or to introduce the genes encoding partial-endotoxins directly into plants to produce insect-resistant trangenic plants. Several examples describing how biotechnology has been used to increase the production of insecticidal proteins in Bt or their persistence in the field by protecting them against UV degradation are presented and discussed. Finally, based on our knowledge of the mechanism of transposition of the Bt transposon Tn4430, we describe the construction of a new generation of recombinant strains of Bt, from which antibiotic resistance genes and other non-Bt DNA sequences were selectively eliminated, using a new generation of site-specific recombination vectors. In the future, continuing improvement of first generation products and research into new sources of resistance is essential to ensure the long-term control of insect pests. Chimeric toxins could also be produced so as to increase toxin activity or direct resistance towards a particular type of insect. The search for new insecticidal toxins, in Bt or other microorganisms, may also provide new weapons for the fight against insect damage.     

Bacillus thuringiensis: a genomics and proteomics perspective

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a unique bacterium in that it shares a common place with a number of chemical compounds which are used commercially to control insects important to agriculture and public health. Although other bacteria, including B. popilliae and B. sphaericus, are used as microbial insecticides, their spectrum of insecticidal activity is quite limited compared to Bt. Importantly, Bt is safe for humans and is the most widely used environmentally compatible biopesticide worldwide. Furthermore, insecticidal Bt genes have been incorporated into several major crops, rendering them insect resistant, and thus providing a model for genetic engineering in agriculture.This review highlights what the authors consider the most relevant issues and topics pertaining to the genomics and proteomics of Bt. At least one of the authors (L.A.B.) has spent most of his professional life studying different aspects of this bacterium with the goal in mind of determining the mechanism(s) by which it kills insects. The other authors have a much shorter experience with Bt but their intellect and personal insight have greatly enriched our understanding of what makes Bt distinctive in the microbial world. Obviously, there is personal interest and bias reflected in this article notwithstanding oversight of a number of published studies. This review contains some material not published elsewhere although several ideas and concepts were developed from a broad base of scientific literature up to 2010.     

两种防治措施下转Bt基因棉田绿盲蝽的发生与为害

2002年在河北省南皮县对2种防治措施下转Bt基因田绿盲蝽LyguslucorumMayre的发生与为害进行的系统调查表明,采用生物农药和低毒化学农药防治4次,Bt棉田绿盲蝽的发生为害较为严重,9月上旬发生高峰期种群密度为7.2头10株,显著高于防治指标,第2代绿盲蝽为害高峰期,叶片被害率为19.4%;采用当地棉农化学防治方法施用农药7次,Bt棉田绿盲蝽发生为害较轻,发生高峰期(8月中旬)种群密度为2.0头10株,第2代绿盲蝽为害高峰期,叶片被害率为4.8%。讨论指出绿盲蝽已成为转Bt基因棉生产中的重要问题,应加快绿盲蝽在转Bt基因棉田的生态调控研究。     

不同生长期转Bt基因水稻秸杆还土对淹水土壤酶活性的影响

在实验室条件下通过秸杆还土试验比较了不同生长期转Bt基因克螟稻及其亲本稻秸杆对淹水土壤酶活性的影响。研究结果表明,与同一生长期的亲本稻秸杆相比,孕穗期和成熟期克螟稻秸杆对淹水土壤磷酸酶活性的影响较小;相反,对淹水土壤脱氢酶活性的影响非常显著,并且孕穗期秸杆与成熟期秸杆的添加对淹水土壤脱氢酶活性的影响趋势也存在较大差异。推测造成淹水土壤脱氢酶活性的显著性差异的主要原因可能是由于Bt插入基因表达的多效性所致。结果认为土壤脱氢酶活性可作为转Bt基因水稻生态安全风险性评价的潜在指标。
